NAMING YOUR SON AFTER…YOUR SON?

KAMEN RIDER CHROME: In the Doctor Who episode "Let's Kill Hitler", we learnt that Amy and Rory's friend Mels was their daughter, Melody and so they had named their daughter after their daughter. So, I am gonna apply that to a oneshot. Take the continuity loosely, OK?


14th February 1968

Shinichi Sanban Banabara (born Shinichi Banabara) stood at the Ferris wheel, operating it for the patrons. It was Valentine's Day and a lot of people had come to the amusement park in pairs for romantic dates. It almost made him depressed. It just reminded him of how alone he was. Alan had dropped him off here with the TARDIS before going off on some solo adventure in space. Now, why was Shinichi supposed to be doing in an amusement park, on Valentine's Day, alone?

He finally got his answer when he saw his pregnant mother and husband coming towards the Ferris wheel. His eyes widened. He pulled the cap down to hide his face, making sure to not make eye contact, but he couldn't help it. She was so young and she was coming here.


Shinichi frantically tried to get the Ferris wheel moving. His parents were up at the very top, stuck since the machine had just halted. "Come on you damn thing! Move!" The lever was jammed but he needed to get it working quick. His mother was due to go into labor any minute. He gripped it tight and pulled and finally the Ferris wheel moved again. He stopped it for each of the passengers to get off, stopping at Shotaro and Shiori's car. It opened and he saw his parents exit the Ferris wheel. Wrapped up in a coat in Shiori's arm was a baby…him.

"Thank you for saving us," Shiori said to Shinichi.

"It's no problem, ma'am," said Shinichi as he pulled his cap down to hide his face. "Just doing my job." He admired the baby. "Cute kid. You named it yet?"

"What's your name?" Shiori asked.


When Shinichi saw the TARDIS he stormed right in and grabbed Alan. "You knew!"

"Of course I knew!" Alan retorted. "How could I not?" He picked up the paper and flipped it over to the page with the picture. "See? That's you. Even with the cap pulled down over your eyes I can tell it's you. So, what name did you give them?"

"Shinji…Akari…and they named me after…me," Shinichi answered between awkward pauses. "So, you just brought me here to make sure I was named."

"Pretty much," Alan shrugged.

"Just take me somewhere before I get a headache," muttered Shinichi.


KAMEN RIDER CHROME: And that's the story. Whaddya think? Confused? It involves time-travel so of course it'll be confusing. What did you expect?
